Chapter 12
The Oracle of the Moonstone Caves
Seeking guidance, they visit the Moonstone Caves, where an oracle or ancient spirit reveals a crucial piece of information about the Jade Paw's location or Shadowclaw's weakness.

The silence here was different from the quiet of the Whispering Willow Village; it was a silence that held secrets, a silence that listened.
